FACILITATING COOPERATION

CONSORTIUM

The project involves five European countries – Poland, Estonia, Bulgaria, Italy and Slovakia – who are working together to develop an advisory program for SMEs operating on the basis of the sharing economy. The aim of the project is to increase the level of public awareness of the benefits of the sharing economy, popularize the phenomenon among entrepreneurs, and make local authorities aware of the potential of the sharing economy so that they support the activities of start-ups that use it.

The sectors covered by this project are: transportation, real estate, fintech, food, education and knowledge, manufacturing, design, retail, tourism and media.

The role of DELab UW will be to facilitate contact between local authorities and enterprises, as well as to prepare preliminary estimates and formulate assumptions for the needs identification process.

THE GAME FOR THE METROPOLIS – WHICH BUSINESS MODELS WILL WORK IN THE CITIES OF THE FUTURE?

Increasing mobility is one of the main challenges that both metropolises and smaller towns have been facing for years to become sustainable, competitive places to live for their residents. Many Polish cities cannot cope with the increasing car traffic, inefficient public transport and the effects of poor spatial planning. The effects of these problems are felt in the form of smog, hours spent in traffic jams and we can see in the inglorious statistics of road accidents.

Experts see the opportunity to improve this situation in the development of new technologies, business models and economic and urban trends related to the concept of smart cities. Today, we can already see the growing presence of alternative transport models based on mobile applications on the streets of our cities. However, in order to fully use the opportunities arising from smart cities, cities must make an effort to create intelligent transport systems that will make communication safe, fast, cheap and safe for the environment. Are our local authorities, businesses, including the startup ecosystem, ready for this? We would like to discuss this issue with you on October 29 at DELab UW!

The result of our meeting will be the commencement of work on recommendations regarding shaping issues related to mobility in Polish cities. We will present these recommendations to representatives of the Warsaw authorities and the central authorities during the next debate at the end of November.

We invite to the meeting both entrepreneurs from industries related to the smart city concept and sharing economy business models, as well as residents interested in the development of our city.
